Kickstarter is a fascinating service. By allowing fans to directly support the creation of new projects, it creates huge opportunities for creatives (and inventors) to fund new work and ideas. I’ve not used kickstarter (I don’t have the proven experience in place to make it work) but I’ve been watching developments closely.
